The memory improving and circulation enhancing properties of Memory Boost consist of the following ingredients: Niacinamide : a supplement form of Vitamin B-3, used to lower harmful blood lipids, namely cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipoproteins and to raise HDL (good cholesterol). Pantothenic Acid : a key brain vitamin, Vitamin B-5, used in the manufacture of red blood cells, hormones, and acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter which carries signals between brain nerve cells. Vitamin B-12 : a deficiency results in impaired nerve function, which causes impaired mental function. Vitamin B-12 deficiency is common in the elderly and may be a contributing factor in depression. Left untreated, Vitamin B-12 deficiency may lead to impaired neurological and cognitive function. Manganese : an essential trace mineral found in the bone, liver, pancreas, and brain. Manganese deficiency has been traced to abnormalities in brain function. Laboratory studies have demonstrated that Manganese superoxide dimutase, an antioxidant enzyme containing manganese, protects brain cells from the type of damage seen in stoke and Alzheimer's disease. Huperzine A : an ancient Chinese remedy for fever and inflammation. Modern investigation has found a new use for this moss plant to treat Alzheimer's disease. Huperzine A, isolated from the moss, increases memory by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine by inhibiting the responsible enzyme (acetyl-cholinesterase). Conventional medicine utilizes drugs to inhibit this enzyme, but Huperzine A is more selective and less toxic than the synthetic inhibitors. Clinical studies indicate that Huperzine A is safe and beneficial for memory deficits. Ginkgo Biloba : an ancient Chinese herb, brought to Europe in the 1700's and currently prescribed in France and Germany. Clinical studies support its use to improve memory. It increases blood flow to the brain, especially the cerebellum, thus enhancing neurotransmitters by increasing oxygen levels. Enhanced circulation to the brain improves short and long-term memory, and increases reaction time and mental acuity. Clinical uses include treating early stroke and senility, vertigo, tinnitus, embolism, and some eye disorders including macular degeneration and diabetic vascular disease. Studies indicate that Ginkgo increases alertness and mental responsiveness in healthy people. Phosphatidyl Serine : a category of fat-soluble substances called phospholipids found in high concentrations in the brain. It may help preserve or improve memory loss, improve learning, and increase concentration. Double blind studies indicate that it can also benefit depression and stress with no adverse side effects. DMAE (2-dimethylaminoethanol) : an acetylcholine precursor. Studies indicate that DMAE can reduce lipofusican (cellular garbage) in brain cells and increase levels of the brain neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Double blind studies have shown significant benefits of DMAE for people suffering with Alzheimer's disease. Studies also indicate that DMAE plays a role in promoting a prolonged level of attentiveness. DMAE is associated with mental focus, memory, and mood enhancement. DMAE is nontoxic and there have been no reported side effects with doses of less than 1,600 mg per day. Acetyl Choline (ACh) : produced from Choline and Pantothenic Acid. It is one of the principal brain neurotransmitters. Without ACh, no messages would be amplified for delivery throughout the central nervous system. ACh enables the brain to change the synaptic strength in response to stimuli that leave a memory trace. It is critical for cognitive development and for the normal development of the brain. L-Tyrosine : a nonessential amino acid and a protein building block important to the structure of almost all proteins in the body. It is a precursor of several neurotransmitters including epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, and L-dopamine. Studies indicate that L-Tyrosine, along with other amino acids, is beneficial for people affected by dementia. Gotu Kola : an important herb in Asia for centuries. In Sri Lanka it was purported to prolong life, increase energy, and boost mental processes. Recent studies have shown that it has memory enhancing properties. Gotu Kola is also used to keep veins strong, and reduce symptoms of connective tissue diseases.
Memory Boost is manufactured in the United States under exacting health standards and regulations. Each ingredient is tested for purity before it is utilized.
